Other social media sites are becoming more and more disappointing. So I've decided to come back to Dreamwidth.

In truth, I'll probably use this a few times a week, for ongoing chronicles of the writing/teaching life, as well as general musings about life. But I'll also probably cross-post between this and my "author blog" on my website at least occasionally.

Anyone at all can follow; I tend to filter heavily when I'm going to say something I don't think is for general consumption, so don't worry, you won't come on here and find me talking about, oh, my sex life, or something, unless you opted in to that filter--and nobody has, at least not since I moved this journal here from Livejournal. I'm not even sure why I have that filter; it's probably a leftover from when I was much younger and more willing to spill all my soul into the void.

On that note: If you go exploring in the archives, you'll probably find all manner of stupid shite I said at some point. A lot of it is no longer relevant, much is no longer how I feel. And there is SO. Much. Drama. I've left it there as a chronicle of the past, but I may go through at some point and lock down a lot of it. Anyway, don't come at me for shit I said when I was 25; I was a dumbass and it's been two and a half decades. There is a lot of evidence of learning in this thing, and not all of it is pretty.

So. Since that last 2017 entry:
  • I've sold three books; two have been published, the third and final book in the space opera trilogy is coming next year.
    • The Widening Gyre, Flame Tree Press, 2019
    • The Blood-Dimmed Tide, Flame Tree Press, 2020
    • What Rough Beast, Flame Tree Press, 2022
  • I've qualified for, and joined, SFWA: the Science Fiction Writers of America
  • I'm teaching AP English Literature now
  • My kid is in high school next year
Oh yeah, and there was a global Pandemic that basically ruined everyone's year. But it's almost over now, and things are getting better--but there are still too many dumbasses in the world.
